Once we realize what our dreams and talents are, we often find it difficult to recognize and develop the purpose for which we have been given those gifts. Fear of the unknown, limited time and resources, or a lack of courage to pursue something new in our lives are just a few of the many roadblocks that prevent us from pursuing our dreams.Many people are unhappy in their lives or jobs to the point that they would rather give up.

Movement connects us all. We are all moving, all of the time. The moving body is the foundation of human activity. In a world where technological advancement allows for instant global connections, we are becoming increasingly disembodied. This gives rise to "dis-ease" in our physical, emotional and intellectual selves. This book promotes increased awareness of the power and potential of human movement. It takes into account personal uniqueness, as well as the universal aspects of what it means to be human. This book is for every body. In order to experience life to its fullest, it is important to keep in touch with our moving selves. It is not a "how-to" book. We are not advocating a specific movement technique or practice. It is about re-discovering that you are a mover and that movement is not just an activity. Our movement is the expression of ourselves in the world.This second edition includes expanded chapters and appendices further explicating the Laban/Bartenieff Movement System (LBMS) for the benefit of students in movement analysis training programs. The text's additions also serve as a testimony to the ongoing development of this system.
